Landed in Hangzhou, I stayed at the Park Hyatt Hotel, which I always felt safe and reliable. With the blessing of Master Peter Zhou Hongbin, the catering level of Park Hyatt Hangzhou has been improved to the point that "even the conference meals are delicious".
This simple lunch at Yuexuan is not at all sloppy. In addition to the seasonal Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs and traditional Park Hyatt boutique cold dishes, Peter's ingenuity and upgrade iteration can also be seen.
The soup is stewed with bamboo fungus in coconut, which is sweet and refreshing. Bamboo fungus has a weak taste and needs to be fresh and sweet to enhance the freshness. Cantonese chefs like to use gravy, but this coconut stew is sweet and refreshing, but not greasy at all.
Some southern private dishes like to use coarse grains as a starch base to braise Liaoshen fish belly. Yuexuan's method is naturally much more refined. The chicken head rice from Jiangnan is used to set off the fish maw. In addition to being sticky and unable to open the mouth, it is also glutinous and hard to bear.
Park Hyatt Hotel is a representative of fine hotel cuisine. No wonder the award ceremony of Phoenix.com Golden Wutong Restaurant Guide was also held here. Looking down at the beautiful scenery of Qianjiang River from a high altitude, you can imagine a paradise on the clouds.
There is heaven and earth, this is really a city worth lingering.
